22 Pillow Covers - As our lives become ever more frenetic, the haven that comfortable bedroom designs offer becomes increasingly more inviting - and not simply for sleeping. Tranquil reading, television browsing (for the programs you want to watch), enjoying a peaceful light supper, letter writing - these are all activities which may be best suited compared to that special private space.

Whether accompanied by a spouse or not, we should consider our bedroom the one area where were obliged to please no one but ourselves (what indulgence and pampering pop into your head). It therefore makes common sense for the 'best' bedroom space and access to dressing and bathroom facilities to be reserved for this purpose.

Finally the advantages of self-containment have been recognized. We expect to pay reduced for a hotel collection, so why not plan long term accommodation on similar lines, with areas set aside for hobbies, calming, dressing, bathing and undoubtedly sleeping?
